FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR. AT AROUND 30,000 MILES, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE GAS OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP. WHEN THE PUMP IS LEFT TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, IT WILL AND THEN GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL UP TUBE. IT HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM SHOOTING OUT TO JUST RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I WOULD GUESS AT LEAST A CUP OF GAS. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS FUEL PUMPS AND DIFFERENT STATIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND MAYBE IT WAS THE PUMP. I TOLD THEM IT HAD HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I NOW HAVE TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ABOUT FILLED AND GO THE LOWEST FLOW SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE. IF I GET THIS RIGHT, I DON'T GET GAS ON ME OR ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILLAGE EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP WITH GAS. THE PUMP KICKS THE PUMP OFF BUT THE FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE OPENING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER X, EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP GAS WILL RUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THIS WRANGLER HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED AND ONLY HAS 15000 MILES ON IT. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR OTHERS AT THE PUMPS NEXT TO ME AS WELL. JEEP HAS NOT GIVEN ME AN ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM, AND DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. AMAZING. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
OCTOBER 30 2010 I PURCHASED A SECOND HAND JEEP WRANGLER YEAR MODEL 2009. IN THE SPAN ON ONE WEEK I HAVE TWICE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS REFERRED ON MANY FORUMS AND WEB PAGES ON THE INTERNET AS "DEATH WOBBLE". MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WAS AT 55MPH WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS. AFTER CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS THE FRONT END OF MY MOTOR VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IN A VERY VIOLENT MANNER THIS FORCED ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF CONCERNS FOR SAFETY. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED THREE DAYS LATER WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH AGAIN CAUSED THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE TO SHAKE IN SUCH A VIOLENT MANNER THAT THE TIRES WERE CHIRPING AND I WAS FORCED TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO BRING THE VEHICLE SAFELY UNDER MY CONTROL. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY,TRACKS STRAIGHT GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAS TIRES ON IT WHICH WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE 21,500 MILES REFLECTED ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL BLOWS OUT FROM THE GASOLINE FILL TUBE, RUNS DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILLS ONTO THE PAVEMENT EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. SOMETIMES THE FUEL BLOWS OUT WITH SUCH FORCE IT SPLASHES ONTO WHOEVER IS HOLDING THE NOZZLE. THE PUMP NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF AS THE TANK IS FILLED BUT FUEL WILL SIMULTANEOUSLY BLOW OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION IS USED, IT HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION, AND HAS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL STATES. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY AND HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. THE DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TANK AT MY EXPENSE, BUT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT EVEN COMPLETE REPLACEMENT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE
SOFT TOP HAS LEAKED AND BEEN WORK ON UNDER WARRANTY AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL LEAKING FROM THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. DURING PERIODS OF MILE AND HEAVY RAIN. WATER DRIPS DOWN THE CENTER CONSOLE AND OFTEN CAUSES ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH RADIO. THE DEALERS NOW WILL NOT WORK ON IT UNLESS I PAY FOR THE SERVICE AND PARTS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SOFT TOP ITSELF AS THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE MATING WINDSHIELD HEADER. *TR

THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. IT CAUSES THE GAS TO OVER FLOW AND GET ON THE JEEP, ME, AND THE GROUND. IT HAS NEARLY GOTTEN IN MY EYE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO HAVING TO BE NEAR THE NOZZLE DURING FUELING. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED. PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A BAD CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WHICH REQUIRES THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED. SAME TANK AND JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT RECURS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AS APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE OPERATOR. *TR

EQUIPMENT
2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK, EQUIPMENT. THE PROVIDED FLOOR JACK TO CHANGE TIRES IS INSUFFICIENT. WHEN PLACED IN THE RECOMMENDED POSITION TO RAISE THE VEHICLE (LOCATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL) THE JACK AT FULL EXTENSION IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO RAISE THE VEHICLE. AT FULL EXTENSION (ALSO NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL) CAUSES AN UNSTABLE JACK WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING. THE PROVIDED JACK IS TOO SHORT MAKING IT UNUSABLE. TO USE THE JACK, YOU'D HAVE TO PUT MAKESHIFT BLOCKS UNDER IT TO RAISE IT (NOT RECOMMENDED), OR BUY AN AFTERMARKET JACK. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE'S BEEN HURT YET. *TR

2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS WHEN VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN 4WD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, PARTICULARLY ON MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATALITY COULD OCCUR. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTING THAT THIS CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE "FIX" IS AN AUDIBLE CHIME IN ADDITION TO THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE ADDITION OF A LARGER OIL COOLER, OIL PAN WITH LARGER CAPACITY TO KEEP OIL COOLER, OR SOME OTHER REPAIR. *TR
